I actually did meet Stallman on a few occasions. In all cases he was a kind and generally awesome human being: * 2000's, Linux Conference in San Francisco / Silicon Valley, I asked him about porting some app from LibC5 to Glib

How does this not produce gnashing of teeth and rage in people? Seriously, what the fuck is up with this holier-than-thou virtue signaling bullshit? Good to have a list of people that apparently approve of this kind of thing so I know what

Just as a counterpoint, regarding your IBM Cloud snub, my small company has been doing our cloud needs with IBM for the past 5ish years, with great pricing, stability and support. The portfolio of non-ibm-specific services is huge .

Raptor systems are not fairly open, they're fully open. Purism and to a lesser extent System76 could be classified as fairly open though.

Great write-up. I was just watching a small presentation for their cloud access tech which you can also use to expose on-premise physical and virtual desktops. Big limitation mentioned was that physical Linux-based desktops are not supporte

Can somebody point me to an article that clearly explains exactly what content of Dr. Seuss is problematic? All articles I googled, seem to assume the reader knows the subject and simply writes about the banning of these six books. Genuinel

Actually, I was doing some updated courses a while ago, which I started a few years back and wanted to finish. I could follow the videos and reading material, but I could not do the end—of-week quizzes without paying. This really put me off

Honestly, I'm seeing a lot of these kinds of articles lately. What they have in common is that they're relatively short and expound on some arbitrary point which is highly subjective. I wonder, are some people writing (and sharing

A thing I usually find lacking in others’ “automate-all-the-things” scripts/apps/pipelines/etc is documentation. Without good documentation you only temporarily kept time-consuming chaos/manual-labor at bay at the cost o
